Welkom Gimnasium is die Kovsiestreekkompetisie se Shimla-liga kampioene vir 2023.

Die span van Welkom het na ‘n skitterende vertoning in die eindstryd op Shimlapark in Bloemfontein met 52-19 as oorwinnaars van die veld teen Hoërskool Upington gestap.

Die Gimmies se kaptein en goue seun, die losskakel, Renaldo Kiewiet, kon ‘n droomseisoen afsluit met nog twee pragdrieë vir sy span.

Daar was nog nie ‘n span wat vir Kiewiet hierdie jaar kon inperk nie, en hy is definitief ‘n opwindende jong speler om dop te hou vir die toekoms.

Sy vleuel, Navan Goeda was self twee keer oor die doellyn, en sy tweeling-broer, Naylan Goeda (heelagter) kon ook weer ‘n drie en drie doelskoppe aanteken om sy span te help om die Shimla-titel weer ‘n staanplek in Welkom te gee.

Die speler van die wedstryd was Welkom Gim se groot, veelsydige slot, Tristan Appollis.

Appollis flous verdedigers nog heel seisoen met hoe vinnig hy sy groot lyf oor die veld kan kry, en kon sy merkwaardige seisoen ook afsluit met ‘n drie in die eindstryd.

Vir Hoërskool Upington het hul kaptein, die groot stut, PA Karsten, weer ‘n uitsonderlike wedstryd gehad.

Karsten het al drie sy span se drieë self gedruk, en sy heelagter, Ruwin Isaks, kon twee verdoel.

Ondanks die feit dat hulle nie vir Welkom Gimnasium kon inperk nie, het die Uppies uitstekend presteer om tot in die eindstryd te kom en kan met trots terug kyk op ‘n goeie seisoen.

Hulle is die Griekwaland-Wes kampioene en kon ‘n baie sterk Fichardtpark span in die halfeindstryd met 53-19 uitskakel.

Welkom Gimnasium het dan hierdie jaar albei die Griffon- en Shimla-titels verower en hulself as die die voorlopers, naas Grey-kollege, in die streek bevestig.

Hierdie was baie van die spelers se laaste skolewedstryd, en vir Welkom Gimnasium is die die perfekte beloning vir al hul harde werk deur die seisoen.

Dit is ook die tiende wedstryd hierdie seisoen wat Welkom Gimnasium daarin slaag om meer as 40 punte teen hul teenstanders aan te teken, ‘n indikasie van hoe giftig hul aanval hierdie jaar was.

Welkom Gimnasium 52 (33) – Drieë: Renaldo Kiewiet (2), Navan Goeda (2), Tristan Appollis, Naylan Goeda, Teschan Meas, Ethan Jones. Doelskoppe: Naylan Goeda (3), Kiewiet (3). Hoërskool Upington 19 (7) – Drieë: PA Karsten (3). Doelskoppe: Ruwin Isaks (2).

Wynberg Boys’ High saved one of their strongest performances of the season for their final fixture against their old foes, SACS.

They ended their season on a high on their home field with an emphatic 36-14 victory.

Wynberg’s star eighth man, Xola Nyali, who captained the SA u18 side earlier this month against France, led his team from the front again in his last game in the first team jersey.

Nyali celebrated his amazing season with another stunning try in front of his home crowd, gathering the ball on his own 22m line leaving the SACS defenders in his dust and powering through the last tacklers to secure a healthy 24-7 lead at halftime.

As always, SACS gave their all in the big derby, with their little scrumhalf, Seth Bradford, endlessly attacking the line and trying to get his team on the front foot.

His big eighth man, Niche Koopman, also left everything on the field, but the visitors just didn’t have enough to contain the  Wynberg team, who were firing on all cylinders.

Wynberg opened the scoring early after a period of patiently building their attack, phase by phase, before their big lock, Monty Loggenberg, rounded off by powering over the line around a ruck.

SACS responded immediately though, with Bradford breaking the line and kicking the ball into open space for his nimble winger, Ilitha Ntinini, to gather and score to get his team back to level terms after only seven minutes played.

Bradford’s opposite number, Sange Mbuto, was equally as influential in his team’s success.

It was Mbuto’s quick thinking and long skip pass to his winger, Tyrone Gombe, that finally broke the deadlock.

Much of the second half was a stalemate again, with the home team protecting their lead against the tireless SACS attack, until Matteo Pascoe intercepted and returned the ball a good 70m to extend the advantage to 31-7.

Wynberg’s star centre, Amier Adams, who missed the starting lineup due to illness during the week, got an opportunity to run out one last time for his first team for 10 minutes when he replaced Keenan Pretorius at flyhalf.

Adams was in on the action immediately and helped played a part in getting his team into a position where they could drive their big hooker, Nicholas van Schalkwyk, over for his team’s final try to seal the double over their old rivals.

The two fullbacks were also both on top form, with Xolela Hoyi, standing out on defence for the home team and Aya Machuli getting the last word in for the visitors with the final try of the day.

SACS’ dry spell continues, with their last victory over Wynberg being the first leg of the 2019 season.

Next year they will build their team around the experience of returning players like Bradford and his flyhalf, Rayaan Solomons.

Wynberg Boys’ High’s star flyhalf, Yaqeen Ahmed, is only in grade 10 this year, so he still has two seasons to look forward to and will definitely be one to watch in the coming years.

Scorers:

Wynberg Boys’ High 36 (24) – Tries: Monty Loggenberg, Tyrone Gombe, Xola Nyali, Matteo Pascoe, Nicholas van Schalkwyk. Conversions: Yaqeen Ahmed (4). Penalty: Ahmed. SACS 14 (7) – Tries: Ilitha Ntinini, Aya Machuli. Conversions: Rayaan Solomons (2).

PRETORIA. – Die Garsie Bere het Saterdag die kroon op waarskynlik sy beste seisoen nog op die rugbyveld gespan.

Die Hoërskool Garsfontein het Saterdag met ‘n kliniese vertoning in die eindstryd van die SDC Noordvaal Cup se Beker-afdeling vir Dr. EG Jansen met 41-22 op Berepark verslaan. Die Bere het daarmee sy derde titel as kampioen van die reeks beklink.

Die Garsies het in 2015 en 2016 ook die kroon gedra. Dit was wel nie ‘n lang droogte sonder ‘n trofee nie, maar die Garsies sou voel dat hul dalk met ‘n tikkie meer geluk dalk al ‘n titel of twee ektra kon inpalm.

Die Garsies was van die begin in beheer in die eindstryd. Dit was veral die heelagter, Jason Hugo, wat weer uitstaande was. Hugo het telkens daarin geslaag om gapings in EG Jansen se verdediging te vind. Hy is sonder twyfel ‘n speler wat nog groot rugby in die toekoms kan speel.

Voorlangs het die haker, De Wet Lottering, waarskynlik sy beste vertoning van die jaar vir laaste gelos. Hy het die fisieke aanslag gelei en ook in die los gewoel.

Die Jansies het nooit gaan lê nie, maar het teen ‘n oormag baklei. Die span se slot Duwan Potgieter verdien ‘n klop op die skouer vir sy spel.

Hoërskool Rustenburg is as kampioen van die Plaat-afdeling gekroon toe hy vir Kempton Park met 49-24 in die eindstryd uitoorlê het.

Secunda het op sy tuisveld nie net daarin geslaag om Oos-Moot as kampioen van die Skild-afdeling te onttroon nie, maar is ook vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar as kampioen van een van Groep 1 se afdelings gekroon.

Secunda het die besoekers uit Pretoria met 35-29 in die Skild-eindstryd verslaan. Verlede jaar het Secunda vir Die Anker van Brakpan met 19-18 in die eindstryd in die Bowl-afdeling uitgestof.

Oos-Moot was die verdedigende kampioen van die Skild-afdeling na hy verlede jaar vir Hoërskool Klerksdorp in die eindstryd met 25-20 verslaan het.

Die Anker het vanjaar op sy tuisveld nie weer oor die laaste hekkie gestruikel nie. Die span van Brakpan het vir Wesvalia van Klerksdorp met 37-28 geklop om as kampioen van die Bowl-afdeling gekroon te word.

Die trofee as kampioen van die Kovsiestreekkompetisie se Shimla-liga het weer staanplek in Welkom gekry.

Welkom Gimnasium is welverdiend as kampioen van die reeks gekroon toe hy die Hoërskool Upington met 52-19 in die eindstryd op Shimlapark in Bloemfontein verslaan het.

Die span van Welkom se Cravenweek-losskakel, Renaldo Kiewiet, was weer op sy stukke en het twee keer gaan druk en ook drie doelskoppe oorgeklits. Die blitsige regtervleuel, Naven Goeda, was ook weer witwarm op die aanval.

Die Uppies het nooit moed opgegee nie. Sy kaptein en stut, PA Karsten, het al drie sy span se drieë afgerond.

Wilgerivier van Frankfort het vir St Andrew’s van die Rosestad met 71-17 in die eindstryd van die Irawa-liga gekarnuffel. Hoopstad het in die Colt-liga koning gekraai deur Postmasburg met 45-14 te klop.

Stellenberg het die bordjies met 21-14 teen die Hoërskool Durbanville in die twee spanne se jaarlikse tweestryd verhang. Die Jade Brigade se vaskopstut, Herman Lubbe, en binnesenter, Ruben Thompson, was uitstaande.

Rondebosch Boys’ High se kaptein en binnesenter, Matthew Malherbe, het in die doodsnikke gaan druk om sy span ‘n kans tot ‘n sege oor Bishops te gee. Die linkervleuel, Ethan Gordon, het die drie vervyf om aan sy span ‘n sege van 37-36 te besorg.

SACS are bolstered by the return of their stalwart loosehead prop and captain, Ali Osman-Bosch, this weekend when they travel to Wynberg Boys’ High for their final fixture of the season.

This FNB Classic Clash will be the last time that many of these boys get to run out in their schools’ colours.

Wynberg beat SACS by 30-17 in their own backyard earlier this year when they met for their first clash and SACS will be desperate to end what has been a difficult season on a high by getting their revenge on Saturday.

Wynberg’s star loose-forward, Xola Nyali (eighth man) led from the front in the previous meeting, scoring the opening try.

Nyali has been a standout for his side and was rewarded for his efforts with his inclusion in the SA u18 squad, which he captained against France. He returns just in time to play in his school jersey for one last game.

SACS’ captain, Osman-Bosch, was injured playing against Paul Roos Gimnasium in June, a week after he powered his team to victory with a hat-trick of tries in their 28-10 win against Hoërskool Bellville.

He has been unavailable since then, and returns for the final fixture of his matric year against their arch nemesis.

SACS is coming off another disappointing loss at home after Gilermo Mentoe (fullback) stole a victory for Bishops last weekend with a penalty conversion in the final moments to break the hearts of the SACS boys with a 27-25 defeat.

Wynberg looked sharp against Rondebosch Boys’ High last weekend, but they came up just short by 21-20.

Their Craven Week flyhalf, Yaqeen Ahmed moves to inside centre for the final fixture and Keenan Pretorius steps up to manage the attack from the flyhalf position.

SACS’ big tighthead, Ikhona Maxegwana, has been excellent in his captain’s absence in the front row, and now that Osman-Bosch is back in his position, the two big boys will be looking to dominate up front on the weekend.

The two fullbacks, Xolela Hoyi from Wynberg and Aya Machuli from SACS are also bound to face up one-on-one at some point, with both providing excellent service for their respective teams throughout the year.

Last year, Wynberg managed a double over SACS, beating them by 40-15 in the first encounter, and getting away with a 16-5 victory in the final match.

The last time SACS beat Wynberg was in 2019, when Ian Patterson (flanker), son of former Western Province hooker, Andrew Patterson, was in that SACS team.

Both of these schools take immense pride in their rugby programs and with a rivalry as historically fierce as this, there could be no better way for these boys to see out their school rugby-playing careers.

The teams are:

Wynberg Boys’ High vs SACS at 12:30:

Wynberg Boys’ High: 15 Xolela Hoyi, 14 Matteo Pascoe, 13 Brandon Ashburner, 12 Yaqeen Ahmed, 11 Tyrone Gombe, 10 Keenan Pretorius, 9 Sange Mbuto, 8 Xola Nyali, 7 Aden da Costa, 6 Jarryd Jackson, 5 Michail Kasfikis, 4 Montgmomery Loggenberg, 3 Luqobo Makwedini, 2 Nicholas van Schalkwyk, 1 Aidan Reid.

SACS: 15 Aya Machuli, 14 Nick Reynolds, 13 Daniel Dayaram, 12 Raashied Conrad, 11 Ilitha Ntinini, 10 Rayaan Solomons, 9 Seth Bradford, 8 Niche Koopman, 7 Ben van Coller, 6 Richard Skeeles, 5 Khwezi Ndlovu, 4 Zach Kennedy, 3 Ikhona Maxegwana, 2 Alex Pybus, 1 Ali Osman-Bosch.
